Color Cute Coloring Book: Perfectly Portable Pages (Design Originals) Pocket-Sized 5x8 Travel Coloring Book with Extra-Thick One-Sided Perforated Pages for Relaxing Art Anywhere

This kids' coloring book is fantastic. It offers a lot of pages at a great price, making it a great value. The designs are intricate enough to help children learn to stay within the lines, yet they’re not so complex that younger kids would find them overwhelming or less enjoyable. We got this for our niece who just turned 7 and she loved it. My son, who is 2, also had a great time "coloring" in it....for as much as a 2 year old can The fun pictures included in the book are sure to capture kids' imaginations and keep them entertained. The balance of challenge and fun makes this book a hit with children of various skill levels. Overall, I have no cons to mention. This coloring book is a great choice for keeping kids engaged and helping them develop their coloring skills while having fun. Highly recommended!

I bought this for our adult daughters Xmas stockings. They occasionally use adult color books but are very busy now with careers an babies. This will be perfect for when they have a few minutes of down time to relax and create. The books will fit in their stockings with some slight bending. Paper is thick enough, sufficient amount of pages. Each page has an inspirational quote from various people. I think that it is nice to have a touch of encouragement. Would buy again.

I just cannot convey how wonderful this coloring book is! The pages are the absolute PERFECT SIZE for anyone that's impatient and wants to finish quickly, or those of us using equipment like gel pens that take a long time to shade things in. All the designs are absolutely gorgeous! And on the back of each coloring page is a quote and space to write your thoughts. The front of the book explains the entire process of selecting a color palette and what "adult coloring" is really all about - expressing yourself through color! The size is also perfect for traveling. This is just one of those products that are so perfect, you don't want to stop raving about them, lol.

I really like smaller sized coloring books with relatively simple designs because they are easy to carry to waiting rooms, color on airplane tray tables, prop up when I'm sitting in bed, etc. I'm also not the world's most patient colorist, so I like smaller projects for that reason. This book meets that criterion very well. The designs definitely would fall in the "cute" category. A number of the designs include motivational phrases like "shine bright" or "be true to yourself". This is not exactly my thing, but who knows? I may end up liking working on these once I get into it. I do like that the backs of each page have a little quote and some ruled lines for writing. I could see using these for journal jottings or notepaper. There are a couple of drawbacks, though, and that is why I have only given four stars. 1) The book is tightly bound and won't lie flat. Fortunately the pages are perforated and can easily be removed for coloring. But that kind makes this less useful as a potential journal. The designs don't go all the way to the binding and could be colored without removing the pages, but I don't like to feel that I have to fight to keep the page flat while I work. 2) The paper is fairly thin. Markers definitely soak through to the back. Of the random gel pens I tried, the darker ones definitely showed through. Crayola colored pencils worked fine. The paper is very smooth, so I don't know how much pencil layering could be done. So if using markers, definitely remove the page or use a blotter sheet underneath to keep from possibly marking the next page, and don't plan on using the backs of the pages if you use markers or dark gel pens. Over all I am satisfied with this purchase, but without an improvement in paper thickness I don't know that I would rush to buy from this line again.

My 85 year old mom and I both love many of the coloring books in this 'Perfectly Portable Pages' put out by DesignOriginals, this one included. The only problem is that they need to make some new versions!

Great small project for quick satisfying results

This is a cute coloring book. The reason I gave it only 3 stars was because I wasn't aware that it's not a "normal" sized coloring book. It's much smaller and would be perfect for traveling when spaces are tight. Overall, it's a cute book of which I can't wait to color in but beware of the size so you aren't disappointed as was I.

I gave this to my 5-year-old granddaughter, and she loves it - especially the small size. Every spare minute she had, she would sit down and work on one of the pictures. It made me so happy that she liked it that much. Wonderful gift.
